This study at 1, 3, 8 and 12 weeks the stability of Premium implants inserted in completed osteotomies with piezoelectric preparation was measured by assessing ISQ parameters. The results indicated a good final ISQ value even in implants that at the time of surgery had an initial stability lower than 60, and an implant success rate of 97% was reported at 15 months. The preparation of sites with piezoelectric devices seems to accelerate the achievement of good implant stability.

The authors investigated the clinical and microbiological causes of peri-implantitis in 534 patients with 1507 implants (made by 10 different manufacturers), the 7.3% of whom showed signs of perimplantitis. In the patients that exhibited signs of peri-implantitis, the authors found:

• the presence of a high percentage of plaque;
• bleeding on probing;
• implants with less than 2 mm of attached gingiva were more prone to peri-implantitis.;
• a high percentage of the implants affected by peri-implantitis had been originally inserted with a regenerative therapy;
• there were no differences in microbiological load between peri-implant sulci and connections;
• there was a prevalence of implants with cement-retained crowns;
• the microbiological load around adjacent teeth had the same composition of as that around implants.

This three-year clinical study was carried out on 632 two-phase Premium implants in 252 patients. Cumulative survival was 98.73% and average peri-implant bone resorption was 0.8±0.03 mm, with a slightly greater trend in the maxilla with respect to the mandible, and significantly correlated to the site and patient age and gender (male or female).

In this retrospective analysis on 429 implants of 5 different types, Global implants showed greater survival and success, matched by less peri-implant bone loss compared to other implants.

41 patients received 70 Premium implants inserted with a flapless procedure versus opening of total-thickness flaps. Cumulative survival at 24 months was 98.57%, and with an average resorption of 1.19±0.9 mm.
Bone loss at 24 months was significantly higher in the group with total-thickness flaps. The preservation of marginal bone level with Premium implants was excellent.

PROSPECTIVE STUDY ON THE MAINTAINING OF THE VERTICAL BONE VOLUME IN IMPLANTS INSERTED WITH THE M.I.S.E. TECHNIQUE

20 implants, inserted in 16 patients with simultaneous sinus lift performed with a transcrestal approach using the M.I.S.E. kit and with tricalcium sulphate as filling material, presented 100% survival at the 5-year follow-up. The increase of bone dimension was stable, the vertical bone reabsorption was reduced and comparable to that obtained using elevation techniques with opening of a side window.

The use of the MISE (Minimal Invasive Sinus Elevation) technique, which calls for the use of high precision depth-calibrated rotating instruments, allowed the insertion of 64 implants with a success rate of 100% and significant recovery of the average vertical dimension at 18 months. Patients appreciated the minimal invasiveness of the protocol and did not feel pain or discomfort.

The results, obtained with a simple and effi cient technique for elevating the sinus with the use of a special kit containing drills and non-traumatic instruments (Minimally Invasive Sinus Elevation) are illustrated in this paper.

20 implants were inserted in 17 patients and at the same time sinus lift was performed with a minimally invasive technique using the M.I.S.E. kit and Sintlife. At the 24-month follow-up the implants were all integrated. The mean bone height, which before the operation was on average 4.12 mm, was stable at 24 months with an important gain in all cases and a mean value of 12.98 mm.

PROSTHETIC MINIMALLY INVASIVE STRATEGY FOR IMMEDIATE IMPLANTS: INSERTION AND IMMEDIATE PLACEMENT OF DEFINITIVE ABUTMENT FOR IMPLANTS RESTORED FOLLOWING THE PLATFORM SWITCHING PROTOCOL

A series of 15 clinical cases with 15 single Premium Kohno post-extraction implants in 15 patients, rehabilitated with Platform Switching, the “one-abutment one-time” technique and B.O.P.T. prostheses in the upper frontal area, showed excellent maintenance of hard and soft peri-implant tissues at 2 years, with an excellent aesthetic results. The combination of these three techniques showed itself therefore to be favourable for aesthetic areas.
